I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!

We never went away from plastic straws here. Wasn’t that mostly a west coast thing?
My straws are titanium!
Make straws great again!
Ol’ Hunter was going through a bit of cash crunch so when the coke stash was running low, he could always eat the straws.
Yep, I have a couple of those. :)
Plastic products take a ton less energy to produce than paper products
Its not about paper vs plastic.
It’s the spirit behind it.
In L.A. it gave license to crappy customer service and wasted time over having to ask for straws as restaurants and cafes (other than fast food) were fined hundreds of $$ if they gave out straws, napkins, plastic utencils even automatically with your food. You always had to go the extra mile to ask.
Meanwhile thieves can steal $900 worth of merchandise and barely egt a slap on the wrist,
All this focus on straws and unisex bathrooms while litter, homeless encampments, un-repaired roads and street lights, fire prevention, water storing, fentanyl,basic crime, have been going unaddressed.
Make lightbulbs great again.
I like paper straws.
I don’t like government mandates.
I love it.
Winning, winning, winning, EVERYWHERE.
“I like paper straws. I don’t like government mandates.”
Yeah same here. Paper straws work fine for me and I use them. I also use stainless steel ones for coffee.
The key is that people should decide these things for themselves.
Also - straws are a drop in the bucket in the world of plastics. There is a huge opportunity out there for someone to invent a cheaper replacement for plastic containers that are biodegradable.
The Plastic bag shuffle was another stupid move. The difference is...the people have to buy the plastic bags and they’re thicker and take up more room at the landfill.
Yep it was an childish pander move to the Alt Left. Plastic cup, plastic lid, but a paper straw that got soggy and useless in 1-2 minutes. An excellent example of Government run amuck
I have a 1970’s industrial paper shredder. It works really well on plastics. Every household should have a waste shredder for composting junk mail, old papers, cardboard, and plastics. Give nature a helping hand. Let her do the rest.
The paper straws sometimes came in plastic bags. You can’t make this stuff up.
😄😆
Bring back plastic shopping bags please
Paper straws wrapped in plastic. Dumbest thing ever.
